Transfer Part II

If you completed high school in New York State you may have met certain general education requirements with your regents scores. You may want to send an official high school transcript to be reviewed with your application. All enrolled transfer students will need to supply an official high school transcript or equivalent before the start of classes.

The University at Albany has a General Education Mathematics requirement. All incoming students must have successfully completed a minimum of two units of college preparatory mathematics to be prepared for this requirement. Please indicate by title the mathematics courses that you have passed both at the high school and college level.

TRANSFERS MUST SELECT ONE MAJOR. Many programs at the University have specific course requirements in order to be admitted directly to the major. Prospective transfers who do not meet all of the requirements at the time of admission may be offered admission as a proposed or intended major so they can complete the program entrance requirements while enrolled at UAlbany.

Accepted transfers who are awarded fewer than 24 transfer credits (0-23) will be admitted as undeclared or intended majors only.

Before choosing a starred (*) major, please note that there are special entrance requirements. Prospective transfers who do not meet the requirements may be offered an alternate major option.
